As teachers, we like quizzes, right? Will you humor me with this quiz?
It is created in Google docs. It asks you about your knowledge of resources available to you to assist in the classroom. Your answers populate a spreadsheet to help me provide you with the information you may want so that you can take advantage of them.There are 11 questions so scoll down to do them all. It is completely permissable to guess on the last three.
Now here is one more to keep you abreast of our times.

Lots more at this website. Some of which would be valuable to help share a vision of what 21st Century Skills are and why edication needs to evolve.Hi everyone,I first bookmarked the main site in 2007but it slipped from my radar (so just in case it did yours too) there are very interesting things here.StevieExcellence is the result of caring more than others think wise, risking more than others think safe, dreaming more than others think practical, and expecting more than others think possible.

LoTi Framework HEATS up
The Levels of Technology Implementation (LoTi) scale developed by Dr. Christopher Moersch, was developed to help
teachers and administrators gauge for the effectiveness of technology implementation. The focus for the work,
originally done in1994, has been updated to emphasize new powerful learning and teaching standards as well as the
use of digital tools and resources in the classroom. A new framework, H.E.A.T. (higher-order thinking, engaged
learning, authenticity and technology use) helps administrators and teachers apply the NETS*S standards to lesson
planning, assessments, peer observations and walk-throughs. More information about the new tools can be found at
http://loticonnection.com/index.html.
